What really sets this rom apart from others, such as CM 7.1.0? Debating on if I should give this a shot.

Can I swap roms and keep everything like I currently have (just backup through titanium backup?)
[G Tablet Android Development] mgrankin:
Hi I just installed the v2.6. I had to install it twice and each time I am unable to get Netflix to work. It veterinary the point where it is just about to show the movie and then shows a message that it could not reach the server. I have a good internet connection, and installed the apk fromthe xda forum. I like this rom, but in need my Netflix!! Can anyone help???otherwise its back to Cyan 7 :(((

Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

I had a problem with the 1.2.2 version of Netflix, but 1.2.1 worked fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks. I'll look into getting Gtalk working
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
This Rom is NOT CM7 based. I say make a backup and flash the ROM. Let me know what you think. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I posted a version of Netflix at the bottom of the OP. That one works best with this ROM and it goes to landscape so its easier to use on your tablet. Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] dman918:
I guess I'm wondering what sets this apart from another rom. Is it faster, smoother, more bells and whistles. Why should one switch from one GB rom over the other?

One issue that I can report on BL 1.--- Gtalk is a NO GO for both audio and video. If you can get that to work, there is no need for HC.

Many many thanks!!

Thanks. I'll look into getting Gtalk working

__________________

I'll be happy to test it for you. With Two tablets, its pretty easy for me to test different scenarios... Also, I tried all the versions of Gtalk that are posted in the Applications section for Gtab but none worked.

This ROM is far more useful than HC based on my needs (Hello Netflix!!).

Thanks again and enjoy your Gatorade!
[G Tablet Android Development] hyperxguy:
I think I will go back to GB (from Flashback HC) and try this ROM tonight.

Dare I ask how does this ROM handle ... 720p MP4 videos ??
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you very much. Ill keep you posted.
[G Tablet Android Development] jamcar:
Can u add a overclocker. In the Rom or what app can I use
[G Tablet Android Development] trance_addict:
By the way..Wanted to let you know that the rom outputs through the HDMI from the dock. We get video and audio although the video is output at the tablet resolution which looks like crap on the TV. What doesn't work from the dock is the ethernet/network connection. It powers up upon insertion into the dock and lights flicker to confirm activity but no data throughput. It fails to get a dhcp address. I have tried it both with booting up in the dock as well as insertion after bootup. The dock network connection does work in HC by the way.

Just wanted to report as I test more and more functionality with this ROM.

Cheers
[G Tablet Android Development] mumboender:
Yes I did search...but is there a way to move the notification bar to the bottom like in the CM7 Mod, either through an edit or a utility? That's the only thing I don't like about this ROM as I like to disable to tablet keys and only use the soft keys and like to see the notification bar at the bottom....
[G Tablet Android Development] cheko:
Kudos

Okay this ROM is pretty clean so far here is my list of all that is good...

Hulu+ works

Netflix works

Bluetooth GPS works

Veetle Works

YouTube HQ works slight jittery

Groove IP Works

All in all this is very solid, biggest issue was removing a couple apps I would never use with Titanium Backup.

Only question is do we use flash from the market in combination with the stock browser. Or use one of the modified flash apk's out their plus the Dolphin or Opera?
[G Tablet Android Development] niioto:
Thanks tjohnsonjr as this rom rocks. Just want to ask how to uninstall Titanium Backup if possible?

Cheers,
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
No. There isn't an option to move the notification to the bottom.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You can use SetCPU or any other app from the market
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks. Yes you can use can use the stock browser. Just into the Settings(in the browser) and change the user agent.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thanks you sir. You should be able to remove TB any app thats allows you to remove system apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] flashlight1:
To uninstall titanium backup that came with the rom i had to delete the apk file from system/app folder, reboot, then i could install a newer version.
[G Tablet Android Development] DKS1282:
Does this support com.android.future.usb.accessory and the prolific 2303 driver?
[G Tablet Android Development] DKS1282:
The answer to my previous question is NO. now next question is, how can you make 2.3.4 and miss the biggest feature? Give me detailed instructions and Ill fix this.
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
Thanks tjohnsonjr! All is good in this ROM till now...

This ROM will stay on my tablet till Android 3.0 has a decent working edition (it might be forever).
[G Tablet Android Development] dinkodimov:
Could not get th GAPPS to work

I'm sorry for the silly question: I load the rom and install the GAPPS after loading the rom once. When I connect the gtab to the wifi I should see the Market but I don't.

When I wipe everything again and install Rom and then the GAPPS before I reboot the tablet, the result is a constant boot loop and /or complete freez in Android Screen.

What am I doing wrong?
[G Tablet Android Development] phoneman22:
Missing camera app

I reflashed many times but am not seeing camera app on v2.6

Also, after format & wiping, I reflashed 2.6 BL1.2, boot up and go back to recovery to flash GAPPS but Market keeps FC.

Cannot log into Google account and settings has no "add google account" function

Also, the keyboard is Japanese, no other selection available.

If Camera app is there and Google Apps worked I think the ROM will be cool. Unfortunately I cannot even use it at the moment. Please help.
[G Tablet Android Development] DKS1282:
Did you install an oriental language pack? Ive flashed my device and the keyboard is fine. Really the only things I find missing are the com.android.future.usb.accessory (which Ive added myself to this rom). And the Prolific 2303 driver, which interestingly enough was compiled with the linux kernel but not installed to the rom.

Could these two things please be added? It would greatly increase the functionality of this tablet. Or seriously PM me and give me links or copy and paste or what ever, just let me know how to do it and Ill do it myself then resend the project back to you for you to release. Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I started looking into it. Haven't found much yet. I'll let you know.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
In Clockwork, try going to Mounts and Storage and then format system and data. Wipe data and then flash the ROM. DO NOT flash the GAPPS until you boot into the ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] wykedengel:
Fieldrunners HD works flawlessly. Played it this morning on the train. I cannot say anything about PvZ.
[G Tablet Android Development] DKS1282:
Thank you very much. Let me know if there is anything I could do. I actually have the pl2303.ko and usbserial.ko how could I push them to the kernel? Or is this not possible? If this could be accomplished that would be sweet.
[G Tablet Android Development] tman7510:
is hardware acceleration working for this ROM? That is the major issue with honeycomb ROMS for gtab. I wont need Honeycomb if this ROM has Hardware graphics acceleration working. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Just FYI, PvZ (and also Popcap's Peggle) will only work (without freezing ever minute or so) on a couple kernels at this point on the gTab. One that it definitely works on is the kernel built into VEGAn 5.1, but sadly this is a Froyo kernel. I have packaged it up for installation over any Froyo ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128866.

I have yet to find a GB or HC kernel that will reliably run PvZ.
[G Tablet Android Development] PlaidStallion:
So I was trying to get my post count up legitimately to ask about audio and video in GTalk. I see someone has already asked about it now though. Anyway why wouldn't it work as the app version is correct in the rom?

I was wondering if this rom had support for USB controllers like 3.1 Honeycomb does? If it does then I really won't need HC at all.

Great Rom by the way. Running 2.5 stable right now but will upgrade to 2.6 soon.
[G Tablet Android Development] dallas590am:
Cant get my gapps to come up. I have tried formatting system, data, etc as suggested above.

None of the apps show up anywhere, even under manage applications. I dont get any options to add a google account at all. It is like they are not installing even thought they seem to install fine.

I have even done an nvflash back to tnt bl1.1, and started over. still cant get teh gapps.

To install, I do a data wipe, cache wipe, install rom, boot up, shut down, install gapps, nothing there. I have tried gtabcomb with the apps in it already, and things work fine. original tnt also works fine.

I'd really like to get this ROM running, as it is my favorite so far.

Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
For those having issues with the GAPPS I will upload the previous version I had up with v2.5. It'll be up tonight.
[G Tablet Android Development] PlaidStallion:
Make sure to add a Google account to the tab and connect to wifi. Then go in and flash the gbapps through clockwork. Usually after restart everything is there.
[G Tablet Android Development] dallas590am:
Like I said in my first post, you cant even add a gmail account....only am exchange one.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
here are the older GAPPS: http://www.mediafire.com/?koa8cb50ncyjdlt

BL1.2

First of all thanks for creating a 1.2 version.

I was wondering how other users are finding this build, It did not seem as stable to me as when I used it back on the 1.1 boot loader.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I could be wrong, but I think your partition is off. You aren't supposed to have a partition larger than 2gb.
[G Tablet Android Development] cheko:

Thanks[/QUOTE]

I am BL 1.2. Tried this ROM. Installation went smoothly. The ROM felt smoother and slicker than most other ROMs and was stable for the length of time I used it.I had the same issues with the Gapps that dallas590am has. Not installing. Had to go back to Cm7.
[G Tablet Android Development] phoneman22:
Still no dice on BL1.2 V2.6

Here is how I flashed it:

(BL1.2 GB v.2.6 CWM 3.0.2.8)

1) Boot into CWM & formatted system & data

2) wiped data/Factory reset

3) wiped cache

4) flashed GB v2.6

5) reboot

Looks fine but no camera app available.

Keyboard IME shows Japanese only. Language selected is English USA

6) Rebooted into CWM and flashed GAPPS 2.5

7) logged into Google account using USB keyboard (onscreen keyboard japanese IME hard to use & only shows in portrait mode)

8) launched Market and kept crashing

ended up reflashing back to other ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] dallas590am:
First off, let me thank you guys for all the help with this :D

I have repartitioned, to 2048/0, reinstalled G-harmony, booted, all was well. Installed GoogleApps-GRJ22.zip. Still no apps, no way to set up a google account.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Maybe you got a bad download. Try redownloading the Rom
[G Tablet Android Development] Redmouse:
It took me several tries but I finally got market installed. I did the whole wipe data/cache, format data/system bit as well. Only thing different I did different the last time, was checking my gmail through the web. I'm not sure if logging on Google had anything to do with it installing.
[G Tablet Android Development] niioto:
Thanks...did that and it was gone. The funny thing is that I needed to install TB again to restore an old backup. It installed but crashes on launch. Any ideas or should I just redo the rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] hungrymr2:
sound is glitchy, sometimes it turns off on its own and will not come back on.

as mention in the previous post that by pulling in a 3.5mm headphone it sound comes back on.
[G Tablet Android Development] apollostees:
Thank you.:D

Thank you.:D

Thank you.:D

Dude, I'm new to the gtab but I'm a long time Android user and yet this is the first

ROM that I have been able to successfully flash on my gtab.

Of the 3-4 I've tried they all give me an "assert failed" error.

This one booted right up with no issues. Appreciate the hard work.

Awsome ROM. Installed yesterday, everything is running great.

In the market, i found that certain apps are not a available for installation. Like google plus for example. Anyone else having this issue?

Like i said thiugh, love the ROM, am on BL1. 1.

What is/are the major differences between 1.1 and 1.2?
[G Tablet Android Development] ByteWrencher:
Also loaded ROM

I installed this over the weekend and am very pleased with it.

I've got Neflix working on it (with the blurriness mentioned above) as well as Galaxy of Fire 2.

One thing I must have missed in the thread is getting root access.

For now I'm sticking with this ROM TYVM!

[G Tablet Android Development] jccrumpler:

[G Tablet Android Development] HunGAa:
Does this rom not come with Flash?? Or flash isn't working?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Flash is not included in the ROM.

@jccrumpler, ByteWrenche, skazimi, Tahde Thanks:D
[G Tablet Android Development] bigtex06:
I must be the only person that is trying to use static ip's for there wireless setup. Has anyone else tried to use fixed ip's instead of dhcp for wireless. When I try to use static ip the tablet acts like it is connected but does't go anywhere. Dhcp works like a champ.

Someone else please try this settings>wireless and network>wi-fi settings>click menu button>advanced>use static ip click>enter gateway>enter netmask>enter dns 1> enter dns 2. Now try to surf the web or the market place. This is where it fails. I have tried stopping and starting wireless , with the same result.

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll it out for you in a bit.
[G Tablet Android Development] jccrumpler:
i agree, best ROM out right now. Im my opinion!. will stick with this one until HC is stable
[G Tablet Android Development] ByteWrencher:
Browser disappeared

While I'm sure the majority here use a much cooler browser than the stock one, the default browser app on my tablet has disappeared from the app drawer.

Digging around I find that the .apk is still in the system directory, but it isn't available to run.

I've tried to clear the data for it and could only find it listed as com.android.browser (which may be the only way it is listed, I never been interested in doing this when it was working). I cleared the data for it and still no joy.

Any other similar stories?

1.1 worked best for me

I had to flash the 1.1 version. The 1.2 never booted. I would get stuck on the viewsonic birds screen. 1.1 worked the first time out. It's great and runs everything i can throw at it with quadrant scores ~2500!

"*To use the BL 1.2 version you must already have BL1.2 installed on your tab. "

Does this mean I need to install BL1.1 and then BL1.2?

I am not sure what this mans exactly.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
No, it means that if you have Bootloader 1.1 installed on tab, then you flash the BL1.1. If you have Bootloader 1.2 then you flash BL1.2. Which Rom are you coming from?
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
I am coming from CM7, before that I had VeGen 5.11.

Is there a way to check on my tab which BL I am using?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You should be have BL 1.1. You can check in the Settings
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
I went to settings and About Tablet, however it does not list a firmware or anything relating to a bootloader.
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
Well, I installed this after a days worth of playing (not fun playing) with NVFlash to get BL 1.2 on my tab.

First try everything looked great, upon rebooting after installing the rom it stayed on the splash screen for a good 25 minutes.

So I re-repartitioned re installed the rom, and now it seems to be stuck on the splash screen again... I am about ready to just throw this thing in the garbage.

Anyone with any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] bigtex06:
I would boot into clockwork and start by going to advanced and formatting the sdcard . Wipe data , wipe cache and wipe dalvik . And then try again. I always wipe data cache and then format the drive. That would be a good place to start.
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
The problem is, after I do NVFlash, there is no more cwm on my tab.
[G Tablet Android Development] SoNic67:
You can install with nvflash only the CWM... It is a sticky how to here.
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
Ok, well I used NVflash with cwm and BL1.2, then installed gharmony 1.2 and now it stays on the splash screen, then shows a blackscreen with the word A N D R O I D, then goes back to the splash screen, it keeps doing this over and over. I hate this thing!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Make sure you wipe data, dalvik cache, format system and format data
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
Ok, I finally got it installed, thanks everyone for their help.
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
One last thing. I installed the gapps, but it seems that it only installed the market and music, but no gmail or anything else... Did I install it correctly?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Glad you got it going. You have to get Gmail from the market
[G Tablet Android Development] steveninspokane:
I got Gmail from the market, but I am noticing this rom does not have an Accounts & Sync?

Is this correct?
[G Tablet Android Development] ByteWrencher:
Similar Struggle

I struggled to get the latest installed (and have since given up). The steps I followed were

1. Partitioned and reinstalled mine to stock with CWM.

2. After booting into the stock ROM then cleared the cache/data/etc.

3. With CWM, installed the zip.

4. Booted into the gharmony ROM. Appears fine

5. Booted into CWM and install gapps.

6. Booted into the gharmony ROM. Appears fine... but no market.

Currently running Flashback (with working Netflix!)
[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
Sounds like the problem I had. My problem was that my Google account was not being setup,so market never showed. The way it was solved was by installing the ROM in CWM and immediately installing gapps. Then when I booted, the android setup wizard came up. Completed setup and there was the Market 3.0...

I hate to ask this question if it's already been addressed, but I have done a good bit of searching and so far I haven't been able to find an answer...

I have just installed this rom and am trying to add Netflix. I downloaded the recommended version from the first page of this thread. It loads fine but when I attempt to play something it says that my device is not supported at this time. I rtied downloading it again and reinstalling but I get the same issue. When starting the app it asked if I wanted to update and I first said no. Then after it wouldn't work I tried to update but it wouldn't find the item in the market to update. Any ideas of how to get tot his work?
